Geelong have named their extended squad ahead of Sunday’s clash against Essendon, with experienced Cat Shelley Scott set to return to the line up for her season debut.  

Scott will add 60 games of experience to the Geelong forward line this weekend, returning for her first game after overcoming a calf injury that held her out of the first half of the season.

Gabbi Featherston, Rachel Kearns, and Olivia Fuller have all been added to the extended interchange, with the Cats set to select their final team at 5pm on Friday night.

Geelong will select five players from their extended interchange to play on Sunday, with the remaining three to be listed as emergencies for the Bombers clash.
